PREFACE

Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972) was an American-born
writer who lived in Paris. She has. become the subject of
feminist studies because she was the center of a supportive
network of women artists. It is hoped that this
bibliography will be used to produce more studies about her
and her circle of friends. These studies of the past are
needed by those of us who seek examples of options available
to us as feminists.

This bibliography was built upon the foundation
supplied by Geor§e Wickes in Amazon of Letters l and by Miron
Grindea, editor of "The Amazon of Letters: A World Tribute
to Natalie Clifford Barney. "2 Both works contain
bibliographies which are reproduced in this paper. Neither

f

bibliography was annotated. Some works were not examined
because they were written in French. They are included for
the benefit of researchers who can read French. This
bibliography is not comprehensive because there exists the
possibility that works written in French were missed by the
compiler.

Some of the works cited in this bibliography were found
by searching the reference lists and notes in other works.
No work which contained a reference to Natalie Barney was
excluded for any reason. Any omission which might have
occurred was accidental. It is the aim of this bibliography
to be as complete as possible.

This bibliography lists works which contain references
to Natali,e Barney, works which include Natalie Barney as a
fictional character, and works written by Natalie Barney
(either by herself or in conjunction with other writers).
Resources for more data about Barney and the location cf her
papers are included. The entries are annotated, whenever

possible, and they reflect the compiler's opinion of the
work's usefulness to a researcher.

In addition to listing works which contain references
to Natalie Barney, this bibliography lists works known to
have been an influence upon Barney's writings* Other works
are listed because researchers have found them useful for
the study of Barney's life even though she is not discussed
in them* The annotation reveals whether or not a work
mentions Barney. If the work does not mention her, its
value to the researcher is explained.

Lastly, to paraphrase Pierre Louy's dedication of LsSL
Qhapsons de Bilitis — this bibliography is dedicated to the
old and "young women of the future society." It is more
specifically dedicated to Teri Foster, whose love and
encouragement pulled me through two years of graduate
school.

INTRODUCTION

I am this being of legend where I live again.

— Natalie Clifford Barney

Natalie Clifford Barney wrote the above epitaph for her
tombstone shortly before her death in 1972. It was written ^
without undue modesty and with an aplomb that characterized
her approach to life* A life which was the subject of
gossip and legend while she lived and that would continue to
be so after her death. Her immortality already was assured
by the essays^ biographies, novels, poems, and paintings
which included her as a subject during her lifetime.

Remy de Gourmont, a French critic and novelist of the
early twentieth century, wrote a series of essays entitled
Lettres a l^Amazone (Letters to the Amazon) which were
inspired by his conversations with Natalie Barney. He
dubbed her "The Amazon" because of her love of horseback
riding but it was also a tribute to her spirit, her joie de
vivre:

I like the will to live, the appetite for
happiness in you, Amazon. You may be made to
suffer, but they cannot destroy the vehemence
which carries you towards beauty and towards
love. 1

All His Works J trans. Richard Aldington (New York:
Covici-Friede, 1929), p. 257.

Nearly seventy years after those words were written,

the Amazon has acquired a new generation of admirers*

Poems, essays, and other works written by her are being

rediscovered by feminist scholars* The work, life, lovers

and friends of Natalie Clifford Barney have become the

subject of many articles in feminist journals:

The way in which she created an important -literary
circle where the works of women writers received
serious critical attention must now be brought
into sharper focus through feminist scholarship.
She created an important network of artistic
contacts, professional affiliations, and, above ^
all, of female friendships*2

NCB, as she was known by some of her friends, was
characterized by Radclyffe Hall as "a kind of pioneer who
would probably go down in history, "3 Hall was not alluding
to her feminism, nor to her pacifism, but to Natalie
Clifford Barney's outspoken espousal of lesbianism. The
Amazon loved women and only women all her life. She and
Radclyffe Hall, who was also a lesbian and a contemporary of
NCB, both wrote about their loves, but their viewpoints
couldn^t have been more diametrically opposed*

Hall's depressing novel of lesbian life. The WpI 1 of
Loneliness , was "to become throughout western civilization

the archetype of all things lesbian ~ the 'butch,' the '
tears, the despair of it all, "4 Natalie Clifford Barney, on
the other hand, proclaimed the beauty of love between women.
In 1900 she published Quelques Portraits^-Sonnets de Fermes ,
a book of love poems she'd written for various women* Her
father was so outraged by the poems that he bought and
destroyed several copies of the book* The reaction of her
father and the scandal provoked by the book did not deter
NCB from writing a second book about lesbian love ( Cinq
Petits Dialogues grecs^ 1902), This boldness in literature
and lifestyle earned her the epithet "wild girl from
Cincinnati • "5

The -life of the "wild girl" began in Dayto.n, Ohio, on
October 31, 1876. Her family moved to Cincinnati when she
was ten years old. The Barney family was wealthy and
enjoyed the privileges of wealth. They traveled a great
deal; they mingled with the famous people of the Victorian
Age, including royalty. Albert Clifford Barney, Natalie's
father, wanted her to make her society debut at the English
Court, but instead she chose to debut in Washington, D.C.
Alice Pike Barney, Natalie's mother, had many friends in the
arts as she was an accomplished painter who had studied with
James Whistler.

Natalie was educated at Les Ruches, a girls* boarding
school in France, and at Miss Ely^s School for Girls in New
York. She also studied in Germany but she never mastered
the German language as she did the French* Her French was
so fluent that she preferred to write in that language*
After the customary society debut, Natalie moved to Pa^'is
where she iived until her death at the age of ninety-five.
H-er"ffeeaom~to iTve where and how she pleased was enhanced
by the $2,500,000 she inherited after her father's death in
1902.

In 1904 Natalie Barney attempted, to found a Sapphic
colony of poets on Lesbos. She and Ren6e Vivien, a poet and
NCB*s lover, hoped to recreate the sanctuary where women
loved and worked in peace. They moved to Lesbos and lived
together happily until Vivien received a letter from a
former lover. Vivien soon left to rejoin the other woman.

Barney returned to Paris depressed about the death of a
dream and the end of a love affair. She made out her will
at this time. Eventually, her spirit revived and she
returned to the social life with enthusiasm. The dream of a
Sapphic colony never really died because NCB*s home soon
became a place where women artists met and gave one another
support.

The Acad6mie de Femmes was a product of gatherings held
in her home on the rue Jacob. This feminist society brought
together French, American, and English writers for readings
and discussions. Colette's works were read as were those of

I
I

I

Gertrude Stein, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Djuna Birnes, and

Anna Wickham. NCB' committed both her time and money to

promote talented women. She edited, translated, and paid for

the publication of their works. In her later years she

established the Prix Ren6e Vivien, an award for young poets.

Natalie Barney wrote poems, essays, and novels

throughout' her life but did not produce a large body of

work. Of her own work she wrote: "I am far from a

practiced and eacy-going writer, and can only, therefore,

write when inspired — seldom enough, fortunately, for my

peace of ,mindl"6 Many of her published works consist of

collected aphorisms such as the following:

The first of all arts should be the art of
living.

Word to word, iriore intoxicating than flesh to
flesh.

j Love, a heroism, that has gone out of
fashion.

Marriage? Maternity? the child also limits
the woman, and then abandons her.

Unselfishness may be self-an||ihilation.

Paternity, vanity^s last and most uncertain
refuge.

Let no woman renounce her natural crown lest
man take her for his equal.

Jehovah, wavering, hateful, revengeful — a
god worthy of man.

of Natalie Clifford Barney^ (New Xork: Putnam's Sons,
1976), p. 198.

War is a step backward, which may call God to
life again.

Our Pilgrim Fathers went to America to be
free to practice their prejudices.

In America where people think and speak so
much of their "figures" and use them so little.

We have mechanised life beyond our senses and
out of all human proportions.?

World War I changed Natalie Barney's life as well as
that of those around her. Everyone was forced to deal with
the ugliness and tragedy of killing. Many of her friends
volunteered with the Red Cross and the Ambulance Corps, some
of her friends joined the army, and other friends, such as
the poet Alan Seeger, died in battle. Laura Barney, NCB^s
only sibling, received the French Legion of Honor for her
volunteer work and was a representative to the League of
Nations after the war* Natalie Barney organized the
Congress of Women for Peace to protest the war*
Unfortunately, NCB^s biographers (Chalon, Wickes) provide
very little detail about her pacifist activities. Karla
Jay, a feminist scholar, has written an article entitled
"The Amazon was Pacifist," which will fill the gap when it
is published. 8

When the war ended, many American soldiers remained in
Europe and other Americans soon followed* Paris was "the
place to be" and Natalie Barney's home was one of the
"places to be seen*" Barney had already attained a
reputation through the writings of Remy de Gourmont,
Colette, and Andr6 Germain* Other writers began to include
her in their works. There were numerous books written about
Paris in the 1920's ana Natalie Clifford Barney is usually
mentioned in them. Her Friday afternoon gatherings became a
"salon" to rival that of Gertrude Stein. The Fitzgeralds,
Ernest Hemingway, Sinclair Lewis, Janet Planner, and Ezra
Pound were guests at both salons. These Americans mingled
with the international group which frequented NCB's
gatherings, such as: Jean Cocteau, Rai^ner Maria Rilke, and
Edith Sitwell. Natalie Barney's interest in writers brought
her into contact with T. S. Eliot, Ford Madox Ford, and
James Joyce — all of whom she attempted to help. Eliot and
Ford were offered financial assistance; she advised Joyce on
business matters.

Accounts of Natalie Barney's life, especially the
biographies by Chalon and Wickes, emphasize that her wit,
intelligence, and good looks were what drew admirers. But
another important attribute was her loyalty to friends. She
supported and encouraged people not only because she valued
their 'talent but also because she valued their friendship.

Former lovera, such as Colette and the Duchesse de
Clermont-Tonnerre, remained her friends long after the
affairs ended^ Barney once commented: "I am very lazy;
once I confer a friendship, I never take it back. "9 NCB^s
loyalty to Alice B* Toklas after Gertrude Stein* s death is a
good example of this. Toklas acknowledged this friendship
by asking her to preface As Fine As Melanctha , Stein* s
posthumously published book, and by writing: "She*s (NCB)
the one bright spot in a fairly cheerless world. "10

Natalie Barney^s immediate circle of friends were
lesbians like herself. Several of them wrote fictionalized
accounts of their lives and NCB is usually depicted in their
writings. Radclyffe Hallos apologia of lesbian life The Well
of Loneliness portrays Barney as Valerie Seymour, an
exceptional woman who feels no guilt about her sexual
preference.il Miss Flossie, a character in Colette^s
Claudine s^en va ^ is modeled after NCB. 12 The novel
explores the attraction between Miss Flossie and Annie, the
heroine.

12colette, Claudine s»en va ^ (Paris: Paul Ollendorff,

Colette was not the only one of Barney's lovers to

fictionalize her. Marie Chassaigne Ghika, better known by

her pseudonym Liane de Pougy, wrote about NCB in Idylle

SaDhiQue ,13 This novel tells the story of the love affair

between a Parisian courtesan and an impetuous young

American^ Ren6e Vivien's Une Femme m'ap ^' ^rrut explores the

conflicts which arose during her affair with NCB. 14 This

novel portrays Barney in the character of Vally — an

unfaithful lover. Another indictment of NCB appears in

Lucie Delarue-Mardrus' L'Ange eb Les Pervers ,

Delarue-Mardrus wrote this about Laurette Wells (NCB):

you are . . . perverse, dissolute, selfish,
unjust, obstinate, sometimes avaricious, often
play-acting, most of the time irritating ... in
sum, a monster-. But you are a true rebel and
always prepared to lead others in rebellion. And
deep down inside you're a decent person. 15

Natalie Barney's circle of friends and lovers was the

subject of Djuna Barnes' Ladies Almanack , l6 This satirical

account of the group's adventures includes thinly disguised

caricatures of Natalie Barney, Radclyffe Hall, and Janet

Planner. The book doesn't seem to have offended anyone; the

women probably had great fun guessing the true identities of
the characters*

< Natalie Barney, Evangeline Musset in the book, wrote a
letter to Richard Aldington which praised Barnes' work.
Musset is characterized as a much sought-after lover; this
must have pleased NCB and is not an exaggeration. Sylvia
Beach, in her book Shakespeare and CompanV y commv^nts on this
popularity: "She (NCB) was charming, and all dressed in
white with her blond colouring, most attractive* Many of
her sex found her fatally so, I believe. "17

Natalie Clifford Barney never wavered in her belief
that love between women was beautiful. Her last book.
T raits et Portraits (1963), contained an essay celebrating
lesbian love. At the age of eighty-two she began a love
affair with Janine Lahovary which lasted thirteen years.
The Amazon lived her life with courage and enthusiasm; it is
no wonder she still attracts admirers.
